Held — A Weekend for the Ones Who Hold Everyone Else
A 3-day women-only retreat for anyone who spends their life holding space for others.
25–27 September 2026 · Willowbrook Farm
You give your care away all year — to clients, patients, children, partners, parents, friends. You're the one people call. The one who listens, absorbs, steadies.
This weekend, that flips.
Our Self-Care Bootcamp Retreat this summer sold out, prompted a waiting list, and left women asking when we'd run it again. Rather than wait for next season, we've added one more gathering — Held, a sister retreat built on the same nervous system reset, this time turned specifically toward the women who spend their lives holding everyone else. Fittingly, it lands during Self-Care Awareness Month.
Why this retreat
Self-care is often something we do alone, in the gaps. Held is different — it's care that happens to you, inside a circle of women who understand exactly what it costs to hold others.
Over three days at Willowbrook Farm, you'll be received rather than expected to perform — through the same science-backed nervous system reset that made the Self-Care Bootcamp such a resounding success, plus deep rest and the kind of unguarded sharing that only happens among women who all know what it is to carry someone else's pain.
Your Experience Includes
🪷 Morning Flow Yoga A gentle, grounding practice to soften the body out of "on" mode and into the pace of the farm.
🧘🏼♂️ Evening Guided Meditation A deeply calming guided group experience using visualisation and hypnotherapy to calm the mind and relax the body.
🌲 Guided Forest Bathing (Shinrin-yoku) Sensory immersion in nature to trigger measurable neuro-psychological healing
🤍 Life & Wellbeing Workshop with Rebecca Lisi (MA MBACP) - psychotherapist, speaker and mental health trainer. Evidence-based Psychology and coaching with enriched mindful, body-based holistic practices.
🎶 Sound Bath Healing with Louise Simpson - thoughtfully tailored to calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and create space for balance, relaxation, and inner connection.
🧠 Integrative Mind-Body and Somatic Movement with Sara Santos - specialising in Chronic Pain and Persisting Health Symptoms
💧 Wild Swimming A natural reset for the nervous system, and a reminder of your own aliveness outside of anyone else's needs.
🐐 Farm Tour & Sustainability Talk A slow, guided wander around Willowbrook Farm — no agenda, no one to look after.
🍃 Nourishment & Nutrition Seasonal, vegetarian, locally sourced meals — this time, made for you, not by you.
⛺ Eco-Luxury Glamping Under the Stars Beautifully furnished bell tents, real beds — a soft place to land each night.
